Due to the recent health order in BC, we have cancelled our admission and flying demonstrations. We are still able to offer private, covid safe, experiences to groups in the same household (please contact for more info). If you have an upcoming booking, we will contact you shortly to discuss your options.

Please remember to support local, this has been a rough year for us all. We also have gift cards that can be purchased online.

Photo is one of our baby Red-tailed Hawks who hatched in May this year. He’s looking very relieved in this photo, after we removed a duck neck and back (which he should have torn up into smaller pieces) that got stuck in his crop - smaller bites buddy!!! A not totally unusual juvenile move... but he’s safe and happy now.

“In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the

“In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields."
—John McCrae

How are you honouring Remembrance Day this year?

It is often thought that birds of prey look ‘angry’ or ‘intense’ due to the ridge above their eye. This ridge actually helps protect their eye from branches or other objects, but it also helps shade their eyes from the sun! Denali isn’t angry at all, this is just one of his many adaptations for survival.
